1. Introduction
SCHOTT invented ZERODUR®, the zero
­expansion glass ceramic, in 1968 and thus
introduced a new era for various applications, of which the most challenging ones are
telescope mirror substrates for astronomy.
The most important properties of ZERODUR®
are presented in this catalog.

Extraordinary Properties
ZERODUR® is a zero expansion glass ceramic with extraordinary properties for
demanding applications in which geometrical shape and distance changes must
be kept as small as possible during changes in temperature.
The key properties of ZERODUR® are:
•An
extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) for
a wide range of temperatures
• Excellent CTE homogeneity throughout its entire volume
• Very low level of imperfections
• A wide range of precise geometrical shapes are possible using grinding processes
• An extremely smooth surface is possible with residual roughness of less than 1 nm
• Excellent chemical stability
All of these properties are realized with extraordinary reproducibility for small
components as well as large telescope mirror blanks for use in astronomy that
weigh several tons.
High-Tech Application
ZERODUR® has become a determining factor in the performance and quality of
many spectacular applications that employ modern technology:
• Stages
and mirrors for IC and LCD lithography equipment
substrates for segmented and large monolithic astronomical telescopes
• Ultra light weight mirror blanks
• Standards for precision measurement technology
• High precision mechanical parts, e.g. ring laser gyroscope bodies
• Reference standards for precision measurement technology
• Mirror
Composition and Production
ZERODUR® is an inorganic, non-porous lithium aluminum silicon oxide glass
­ceramic characterized by evenly distributed nano-crystals within a residual glass
phase. ZERODUR® is produced using a two-step process. During the first step, it
is molten from selected raw materials, refined, homogenized and cast into moulds
similar to the optical glass melting process introduced by SCHOTT and continuously im­proved since then. Following subsequent annealing for stress relaxation,
a precise ceramization process transforms ZERODUR® in the second step into the
glass ceramic through controlled volume crystallization. The negative linear thermal ­expansion coefficient of the crystals compensates for the positive expansion
of the remaining 30 % glass matrix.
Homogeneity and Reproducibility
of Properties
The excellent homogeneity and internal quality of ZERODUR® can be attributed
to the well-established optical glass melting process, which has been continuously
improved to yield such excellent quality in high volume ZERODUR® blanks up
to 8 m in diameter. The thermal expansion coefficient variations are in the order
of the detection limit of ± 1.2 · 10-9/K (95 %). The melting, casting and annealing
procedures have been improved to establish continuous production, which reproduces the excellent quality that is needed to be able to supply mirror substrates,
in particular, for extremely large segmented astronomy telescopes for years and
years. SCHOTT has already proven its ability to consistently deliver large quantities
of mirror substrates in the 1 to 2 m diameter range reliably while maintaining a
high level of quality: ZERODUR® was selected to be the mirror substrate material
for all of the world´s segmented telescopes currently in operation.

Recommended Application
Temperature Cooling Rates
between 130°C and 320°C
Slight changes in the CTE may occur if ZERODUR® is cooled down from application temperatures between 130°C and 320°C to room-temperature with a rate
that differs from the initial cooling rate. ZERODUR® is generally cooled during
production at an initial cooling rate of between 1°/h and 6°/h. Each factor of
10 difference between application and initial cooling rate can lead to a permanent CTE change of 0.025 · 10-6/K.
Maximum Application Temperature
600°C
Length Stability over Time
Gauge blocks with a length of 400 mm made from ZERODUR® have been connected interferometrically to a wavelength standard at the PTB (Physikalisch-­
Technische Bundesanstalt, Germany). The rods that were maintained at 20°C
showed shrinkage over time. The shrinkage rate is hardly measurable and decreases exponentially over time. The shrinkage is irrelevant for most applications.
12
Modelling of CTE Behavior
The structural relaxation behavior of glass ceramics can be described by a theoretical model. With this model, the relaxation behavior of a ZERODUR® cast can
be predicted at any application temperature and temperature change rate upon
special request. In applying the model, ZERODUR® batches that offer the best
performance can be selected for extremely demanding applications.
ZERODUR® K20 for High
Application Temperatures
ZERODUR® K20, a low thermal expansion version of ZERODUR®, has been optimized to withstand higher application temperatures. The material has a white
color and offers good IR transmittance of between 3.5 and 5 µm and homogeneous high reflectivity properties. The non-porous ZERODUR® K20 exhibits good
polishing ability and excellent vacuum properties.

3. Internal Quality
Inclusions
Inclusions in ZERODUR® are mainly bubbles. For optical surfaces, a critical
volume can be defined by setting tighter requirements. During inspection of
ZERODUR® parts, all inclusions with a diameter > 0.3 mm are taken into
consideration. If an inclusion has a shape other than spherical, the average
diameter is reported as the mean of the length and width.

All ZERODUR® parts are precision annealed to achieve low and symmetrically
distributed permanent bulk stress. The bulk stress birefringence is measured in
axial direction for discs and rods at 5 % of the diameter from the edge.
For rectangular plates, the measurement is performed in the middle of the longer
side perpendicular to the plate‘s surface. It is recorded in path difference per
thickness in inspection direction.

Striae are locally confined transparent regions with compositions that differ from
the basic material only very slightly. They are generally ribbon-shaped (or often
called band-like) but are occasionally thread-shaped. The stress birefringence of
striae is measured as a path difference in nm as listed in the table 3.3. In parts
with thicknesses of more than 250 mm, the path difference is expressed in nm/
cm striae length and will be specified on an individual basis.

4. Processing ZERODUR®
Processing ZERODUR®
ZERODUR® is processed into complex geometries based on technical drawings
from customers and specifications using diamond grinding with modern CNC
machines. SCHOTT uses a variety of CNC machines, from precision smaller
geometry 5-axis up to a 4.5 m machine for large mirror substrates for use in
astronomy. The highlight of ZERODUR® processing is the light weighting
for satellite mirror applications. Continuous process development has enabled
SCHOTT to grind challenging aspect ratios of pocket height to rib thickness.
Walls of 190 mm in height and only 2 mm in thickness result in a light weighting factor of 90 % and a remaining weight of only 22 kg for the 700 mm
diameter mirror blank in figure 4.1 to the left.

Diamond tools are used for machining ZERODUR®. Standard tool diamond grain
sizes are between D64 and D251. Tools with finer grains are available upon
request. Typical mean surface roughness values of Ra < 3.5 μm are obtained in
rough grinding and cutting. Based on the combination of the process and tool,
smoother roughness of Ra < 1 μm can be realized upon customer request.
The dimensional tolerances of ISO 2768, the standard for general tolerances,
(classes v, c, m, and f) and the form and position tolerances listed in ISO 2768
(classes L, K and H) can be met. Depending on the geometry, tighter tolerances
are possible as indicated in table 4.2. Tighter tolerances depend on the geometry
and size of the parts and cannot be combined freely. Even narrower tolerances
are possible upon special request.

All parts are supplied with bevels on all sharp edges to prevent edge damage.
Modern CNC processing allows for a multitude of geometric shapes to be
produced, including holes, blind holes, semi-closed holes and freeform surfaces
in all geometries. Due to the brittle nature of the material, threads cannot be
produced directly in the material and bonding of e.g. metal inserts with threads
into the ZERODUR® part is recommended.
18
5. Bending Strength
The design bending strength of glass and glass ceramics is not usually a material
constant. This mainly depends on the surface state of a specific part and the
conditions of its intended application.
The main influence is the presence of sub-surface micro cracks. In regions of
tensile stress, their maximum depth determines the load that a specific part can
endure. Smaller micro cracks generally lead to higher strength.
With increases in the size of the tensile stress loaded area, deeper cracks may
­occur according to their probability distribution. Therefore, larger loaded areas
lead to lower design strengths.
Micro cracks cannot follow a fast rise in tension with their growth as well as a
slow rise in a tension of the same extent. Hence, surfaces exposed to rapid rises
in stress appear to be stronger than those with slow rise rates.
When tension in loaded areas surpasses a threshold value, micro cracks begin to
grow slowly, only to speed up with increasing stress. This process is supported
by the presence of humidity. A dry environment and ultimately a vacuum offer
the best conditions with respect to design strength.
In general, the design bending strength is calculated on the basis of the parameters of the Weibull statistical distribution, which allows to take the influences
listed above into account. The Weibull parameters for different surface conditions
and further information on the bending strength of ZERODUR® are provided in
a separate Technical Information.
ZERODUR® withstands loads of up to 10 MPa without any difficulty, as long as
its surfaces is not severely damaged. For higher loads, we recommend analysis
on the basis of the Weibull model and introducing precautions to prevent degrading of surface quality. Even higher loads than approximately 50 MPa may
require special surface treatments, like optical polishing or acid etching.

6. Additional Properties
Reactivity with Other Materials
At room temperature, acids (with
the exception of hydrofluoric acid),
­alkalis, salts and dye solutions, leave
no residual traces on ZERODUR®
­surfaces (elapsed time 170 hours).
Concentrated sulfuric acid attacks the
material at high temperatures. The
construction and insulating materials
mica, chamotte, MgO and SiO2 do
not react noticeably with ZERODUR®
at temperatures of up to 600°C after
5 hours of elapsed time. By contrast,
enamel reacts above 560°C by having
its surface destroyed.
Repeated Metal Coatings
ZERODUR® can be coated with aluminum, for example. Based on the good
chemical resistance of the material,
the mirror coating can be removed
­repeatedly. The polished surface can
be cleaned and recoated. A process
has been optimized for coating and
cleaning of the polished surface.
